Your voice for a more bicycle-friendly New York State since 1990

Light Wheels

This is a series of vehicle designs for Pedicabs that can carry three passengers, the legal limit, as well as people in wheelchairs and cargo. Also shown is a number of configurations of weather-protected tricycles, operated by both arm and leg power and equipped with small electric-assist motors. Smaller and slower is safer and least disruptive in our crowded urban spaces. Federal law defines a human-powered vehicle with an electric-assist motor of less than One Horse Power, with a maximum speed of under 20 Miles Per Hour as a bicycle.
